"I Talk to the Wind"

"Alvvays - Archie, Marry Me (Official Video)" (Watch on YouTube)

Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between.

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.

I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion
Disillusion
All around me.

You don't possess me
Don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time.

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.

On the other hand...

"Joan Osborne - What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted with the Funk Brothers" (Watch on YouTube)

Hey, I just noticed something. All these guitarists are right-handed. An observation which is probably as absurdly pointless as the intro's assertion that all of them are Japanese.

On the other hand, my own little factoid is at least accurate. Whereas the arranger of this remarkable piece, who is also one of the guitarists, is Taiwanese. And the young guitarist who famously did the original cover on YouTube, is South Korean.

Which I think nicely undercuts a number of the racist comments posted at the YouTube site. As well as underscoring their ignorance.

So, "Ha, ha!" [taunting, sing-songy, Simpsons cartoon voice]
